Solanum = Lycianthes (Solanaceae) BSWJ10395

shrubby sp. from Guatemala

A somewhat lax shrub in the wild which so far has only grown into a medium sized shrub for us with upward, but flexuous green stems clothed in softly fealty cordate leaves 10cm across. Bearing large flat lilac flowers close to the ends of the branches, for most of the year so far. Height and spread 2m, best grown in a sheltered site in sun and a drained soil that is fertile. Our collection from Volcán Zunil at 3450m in 2004. Lycianthes
